Overview
- Variety confirmed Monday that Elordi dropped out of consideration for the Cannes Film Festival jury because of a foot injury first reported by Page Six.
- Organizers are seeking a replacement before the festival runs May 12 to 23 and have not announced who will fill the open seat.
- The 2026 jury is led by South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook and includes Demi Moore, Chloé Zhao, Stellan Skarsgård, Ruth Negga, Laura Wandel, Diego Céspedes, Isaach De Bankolé and Paul Laverty.
- A foot injury makes jury service difficult because members climb the Palais steps and move between many screenings, press events and photo calls each day.
- Elordi’s representative did not respond to requests for comment, and the actor’s recent profile includes an Oscar nomination for Frankenstein and new work in Euphoria and The Dog Stars.
